Hi.

I used one of the Turbo Blanket Kits from Below but to be honest, it is way over priced, all it is is the Cool thermo sleeve in a bigger sheet !!!.
http://rallynuts.com/motorsport/COOL_IT_Products_1725/

I wrapped the thermo sleeve around the turbo exhaust housing a few times & then secured with Stainless steel Zip ties, the sort that you use on Driveshaft gaitors Etc. Far cheaper than the Blanket Kit & does just the same Job. I even modded my Oem heat sheild to fit over the top for extra protection.

yeah thinking about this i think ill just be modding the oem heatshield, i just need to hack off a side of it as the housing is simply too large.
